Hi, I won giveaway for Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter. Creator of that giveaway sent me key but when I activated it, it was Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, not Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter. What to do?

Still not. I have very old machine now so I really wanted Serious Sam Classic but I am thinking to mark it as recived.

Better contact support, if you mark it as recieved and then someone reports you for not activating what you won you might get in trouble.

All you can do is reporting the giveaway to support OR mark as recived,explain support what happend and be happy. Also, exept graphics, what's the difference between those two versions of the game?

"OR mark as recived and be happy"

Wrong. Marking it as received for getting the wrong game can get you in trouble later on, as others have mentioned.

Even if you had joined a giveaway for Bad Rats and received Skyrim instead, you'd still have to contact the winner for the proper gift or mark it as not received.

Well that unfortunate but it is basicly an update version of the game and seeing as you have already activated the key there is not much that can be done i think.

This was not key for Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition, this was key for Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter, probably key from Humble Bundle.

He should cotact support anyway, because technically he's not activating the game he won, and someone could point that out in the future

Ask support if you can mark it as received.

If you mark it as received without talking to them you may get suspended because you didn't activate your gift.

I don't think the classic version can be gifted. The classic ones were unlocked when I got BFE but aren't for sale on steam. You should mark it as received and just be grateful you won it and not screw the guy that gave it. You got a better product than advertised.

Yea but he could get suspended for not activating a game on his account.

But Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter will still not be on his account so he could later get suspended for not having the won game in his library.

He shows the e-mail as a proof that he won a game and he activated it

He still will have to go through the trouble of contacting support directly after being unable to use his SG account for x days.

And no guarantees that support will actually do anything for him, since he was (also) at fault for marking a game as received despite getting the wrong game.

That attitude omg....

On: Contact support and tell what happened to you, don't do what they say here. BEFORE DOING NOTHING. Ask support what to do,and wait what they said.

And the game he gave away was a regift. i bet the one that got deleted was a regift too. I don't know if he has been suspended already, reported anyways.

Report it to support for safe measures, see what they say.

Two things to do:

  • Contact the gifter. It might be an honest mistake and he will be able to provide you with the right key.
  • If he can't, or you're unable to contact him, contact support about this. Technically you should be marking it as not received, but they might say otherwise.

I not marked gift as received or not received yet. I contacted SteamGift Support and replayed to his mail and told him what happened. I am waiting their replays. I think that is fair from me.

Edit: He responded me:

"Yeah, sorry for that.
I wasn't aware that Serious Sam comes in 2 versions and from
what I'm seeing on SteamGifts many folks are making the same mistake :/"

I'm waiting SteamGifts Support respond now.

I dont know if SG staff can retroactively change a game, Or perhaps mark down a note. But if the classic wasnt included in the bundle, I hope they arent getting CV for it.

Well, the interesting thing is that Serious Sam Classic is in the bundle list, but Serious Sam HD isn't. So practically the gifter did not get CV, when he would have if he makes Serious Sam HD giveaway.

Maybe they'll add them HDs sometime in the future? Seems weird that they aren't there.

Because I can not activate game that I did not get and I can be suspended if someone report me that I did not activate game that I won.

Little offtopic - why isn't SS HD bundled? The creator must have made an honest mistake, cause if he tried to cheat the system and get more CV, he'd just make SS HD giveaway.
Cause it isn't bundled.
But why?
You put Tryst cause of ~30 minutes price bug on bundle list, right after the bug appeared, but you don't put a bundled game there?
Either the correct answer is '...yet' or this adding games to bundle list is really random.

Give Shobo some time. Bundles take effect back in time, so when it's added everyone who made GA after Bundle started will have their Cv reduced anyway.
